Chapter 5, Problem 11P
Albino rabbits (lacking pigment) are homozygous for the recessive c allele (C allows pigment formation). Rabbits homozygous for the recessive b allele make brown pigment, while those with at least one copy of B make black pigment. True-breeding brown rabbits were crossed to albinos, which were also BB. F rabbits, which were all black, were crossed to the double recessive (bb cc). The progeny obtained were 34 black, 66 brown, and 100 albino.

In roses, purple flower color is determined by the dominant P allele, while pp
homozygotes are white. The presence of long stems is determined by the
dominant S allele, while ss homozygotes have short stems. Both mutations are
completely penetrant. A test cross was performed between a rose plant of
unknown genotype with a white flowered, short stemmed rose plant (pp ss) and
the following 200 progeny plants were obtained:
84 white flowers, long stems
16 purple flowers, long stems
82 purple flowers, short stems
18 white flowers, short stems
Select the statements below that are TRUE.
Select 2 correct answer(s)
The P and S genes independently assort during meiosis.
The map distance between P and S is 17 CM.
The genotype of the progeny plants with purple flowers and short stems is
PP ss.
The map distance between P and S is 83 CM.
The homologs in the plant with unknown genotype are p S and Ps.
The homologs in the plant with unknown genotype are PS and p s.
Fruit fly body color is wild type (meaning normal) Gray = B+ and black = b
Fruit fly wing type is wild type normal wings = vg+ and vg = vestigial
A fly which was heterozygous for both traits was crossed with a fly that was recessive for both traits.
Write the genotype and phenotype that would be expected from this cross.
Write the genotype and phenotype percentages that would be expected from this cross.
We have crossed true-breeding flies today. Wild type to mutant. Their phenotypes were wt and vg se. (Let’s not worry about males and females for now, just assume both genes are autosomal, which is normal in a Mendelian experiment).
The results of a cross are phenotypes. I will be asking you for numbers or a ratio of phenotype numbers you expect to see in the offspring from this cross. To answer this, you’ll need to start with the genotypes of parents, then write their gametes, then write the offspring genotypes, then get the phenotypes based on them.
Predict the results of this cross:
In case both mutations are recessive;
In case both mutations are dominant;
In case vestigial wings are recessive and the sepia eyes are dominant.
